Family pit bulls shred 12-yo boy
8:58 p.m. -- A 12-year-old boy was mauled to death by his family's two pit bulls this afternoon in his apartment in San Francisco's Inner Sunset District as his mother screamed helplessly.
The boy, identified by school district officials as Nicholas Scott Faibish, was in his apartment at 711 Lincoln Way when the 80-pound dogs - a male named Rex and a female named Ella - attacked him at about 3:15 p.m., authorities said.
"Get them out of here!'' the boy's mother screamed, according to a neighbor in the building who heard the attack and saw the woman moments later, covered with blood.
A police officer shot and killed one of the dogs, believed to be Ella, when the dog prevented him from entering the apartment, a police spokesman said. The other dog was captured inside the apartment and was being held by animal control officers.
Paramedics tried and failed to resuscitate the boy.
Shocked neighbors said the dogs were normally friendly, affectionate and well-behaved.
"The dogs were sweethearts,'' said Art Austin, who has lived in the building for five years. "I never thought they were vicious. They were really nice. I would pet them and my wife would kiss them on the forehead.''

Dog owners always say, "oh, he is is really friendly...he won't hurt you."
They are full of shit. All dogs are potentially crazy. When their owners say this, they are really telling you to be careful.
R.I.P. to the kid that got killed as mentioned in the post that started this thread.
